I'm using the 'Silver' skin layout, but I can't get the layout to look as is shown on the example...

This is the example layout
Wanted Layout

And this is what I actually get
Wrong Layout

So, what have I done wrong???
I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work for me :o(

Could it be simply because the theme is made for much older version of miniBB?

Sure, you're trying to apply the older-type skin to the newest version of miniBB, but this is a bit wrong (kuopassa is right).

What we have different in miniBB 3, comparing to the older version, is the templates/layout set.

If you want to use the older layout, most preferably you should take the older set of templates. We have it available on miniBB demo server - if you choose "Test Skins" icon in the top right corner, then select "Basic" skin, you will see the older set of templates and the old-school layout is loaded on.

SO - you will need these templates to update/overwrite on your end before applying the old-school skins (right mouse click - Save As):

templates-b/
main_forums.html
main_forums_cell.html
main_last_discuss_cell.html
main_last_discuss_more.html
main_last_discussions.html
main_posts.html
main_posts_cell.html
main_topics.html
main_topics_cell.html

Alternatively, you may look for the other miniBB templates names - they all could be found in the folder mentioned above.

Hello Kuopassa! I love the MiniSkin3 theme. Looks really good. However it does not seem to fully work with BB 3.1. For example editing forum I will get the following message "Can not proceed: possible CSRF/XSRF attack!". Any ideas how I could overcome this, or is there a new skin for BB 3.1. Thank you.

Hey, Guest, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. :-) I've got no idea why you get that message, but it could have something to do with cookies. Anyway there is a newer version of the theme: Miniskin4. It's more advanced in every way. With it you can change theme's settings with a browser-based control panel.

This could not be related to a skin... it's up to your configuration :) probably, the forum domain you've set up doesn't correspond to the domain you are entering it... in most cases, this is www/non-www issue.

Sure... edit bb_default_style.css, providing your own colors/fonts, or rename it something, let's say bb_new_style.css, set $skin='new'; under setup_options.php and you could work with different skins separately.

How many new CSS Skins exist for the new version 3.5? Like i finally got miniBB installed and been toying around with theming for 3 hours or so. Still a long way to go to have completed but it looks pretty good overall. But this is by test and trial and it takes a long time. Hmmm
Is there any other CSS themes that is available overall, so I can look into the codes of the different and get some more understanding and ideas.

In any case... Some things to read up on for sure, it does not seem that difficult if one got the hang of it to further modify things to ones liking.

Here is my test forum at the moment, it is kinda messy but finally at least I can test things out :P — the Crunchbang edit it on at the moment, although not sure for how long :

JesusGod Pope666:
it takes a long time
You couldn't develop a good look without sharing time to it :-)

There are actually no prepared skins for miniBB. During years of development, CSS schema changed a lot and its contents, too. Since miniBB has been developed as a customized forum, I preferred to spend my time to create the basic CSS skin as simple to adjust as possible.

I've checked your forum and it looks balanced at the moment, maybe the font has to be changed to fit into white-on-dark theme. I personally do not prefer forums/websites with such themes. They are eyes-expensive, very difficult to read.

You could also post screenshots here if you'd like mention just a part of your work. Not everyone could recover tricked URLs :-) Like this would be better to show:
